' coiirseuf it is deslred to run the motor after lever 47, one endof which may be pivoted as at 48 to a plate 49. arranged inthe crank case, and its other end may be pro- ,6 vided with afloat 50,' adapted to be actuated b v variationsof the level e f-the lubricant in it e crank-case. The "tank 42 may be pro- 4 vided-with the usual gage glass 51 andthe flow of lubricant from the tank may batontrolled by a-suitable cook 52 arranged in the I replenish the supply in t conduit 44:. The feed from the tank may be by ,avity or pressureiland is adapted to is consumed during the operation of the 16 motor so that a' constant level is maintained.

'A fuel. tank 53, which maybe suitably swung from the frame members 54, is connected by means of'a conduit 55 to the float chamber 56 of a carbureter 57 arranged between the branches of an intake 58. As'the fuel tank is arranged below the level of the ing gasolene to the carbureter, as by means of an air pump 59, of the well known recip focating type, arranged at the front end of the motor, and adapted to have its pitman 60 driven from a crank 61, mounted en the endof the cam shaft 18. The air is led' from the pump by means of'conduits 62 and 63 to the tank '53:" It will be noted that another conduit 64 is led into the T union. 65, connecting the conduits'62 and 63, and is adaptedto communicate with the interior of the tank 42 adjacent its top 66. up;

From the foregoing description, it will be understoddthat when the supplementary oil tank 22 contains a supply of lubricant, it will automatically replenish the diminishing supply of lubricant in the-crank case and the oil in the tank 42 will act as a liquid seal, preventing the discharge of air from the fuel pressure system; and under such conditions, the pump 59 will maintain suficient pressure to feed to the float cha-m er 56 of the carbureter;

however, when the oil supply in the supple mentary tank is exhausted, the needle valve e crank case as it gesolene from the tank 53 the operator has been warned that his supplementary supply of lubricant has been exhausted, this may be done'by s uttiug off a cock 67 in the conduit 64 leading to the tank 42.

While I have shown my invention as applied to the supplementary oil feed of an internal combustion engine, it will be understood that this is merely an illustrated cm-' bodiment.

WhileI have described and will specifically claim a preferred'form of my invention, it will, of course, be'understood that various modifications may be made, y one skilled in the art, without departin from the spirit'and scope thereof.

Having thus described my invention, what 'I claim and desire to secure by'Letters Pat-.

entis:

1. In a hydrocarbon motor, the. comb nation with a carbureter, a source of fuel supply arranged at a lower level than said I carbureter, means for lifting fuel from said source to said carbureter, and a lubricant receptacle,'.of a valve mechanism arranged in said receptacle adapted to be afiected by changes of the-level of the lubricant: in said receptacle, said valve mechanism co6perat -f ing with said lifting means whereby said means becomes ino erative when said lubricant supply goes be ow a predetermined level. 2. In a hydrocarbon motor, the combination with a carbureter, a source of fuel supply arranged at a lower level than said car-- bureter, means for lifting fuel from said source to said carbureter, and a source of lubricant supply, of means for connecting said sources comprising a valve device affected by changes of liquid level in said second source, means connecting said first source with said liftingmeans, the arran ment being such that said lifting means becomes inoperative when the lubricant supply goes below a predetermined level.

' In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
